Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound calf's liver, cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower or other neutral-tasting oil, plus more as needed
4 fresh sage sprigs, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
  • Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces calf's liver, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices calf's liver
All purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup canned beef broth
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Spoon sauce over liver; sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • When choosing calf's liver for this recipe, opt for pieces that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid any liver that is pale or has an off smell.
  • Before cooking, soak the liver in milk for about 30 minutes. This will help to remove any impurities and mellow the flavor.
  • Slice the liver against the grain to ensure tender results.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat to prevent it from becoming tough. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the liver dry and crumbly.
  • To make the shallot and wine vinegar sauce, use a good quality red wine vinegar. This will add a rich, tangy flavor to the sauce.
  • Serve the calf's liver with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. This dish can also be enjoyed with a glass of red wine.
